The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling
for reviews for a special issue of the journal RIDE, dedicated to Tools
and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing (DSE):
https://www.i-d-e.de/cfr-tools/
To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a structure
for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Tools and
Environments for DSE that are supposed to be applicable to various types
of resources. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here:
https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-…
Reviews will be accepted until the 31st of May 2019.
We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at
ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de with a suggestion of which resource you would
like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area
of expertise. This is important in order to avoid multiple reviews of
the same tool.
Background
In the introduction to his book Software takes command (Bloomsbury
Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that "software has become our
interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our imagination".
Is the same happening in the world of digital scholarly editing?
Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental role in our daily scholarly
practices and in the interactions with our objects of study. Insofar as
tools shape scholarly editions, they also shape scholarly editing.
A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly editing. The
aim of this issue is to:
* contribute to the discussion about tooling in Digital Humanities,
* bring to the forefront the instruments instead of the final products,
* provide a venue for discussing best practices in the development and
usage of tools,
* list useful resources for all those involved in scholarly editing.
Beyond that, we hope that the critical examination of digital tools
draws greater attention to the (scholarly) achievements that their
creation and maintenance imply.
The journal RIDE was founded in 2014 to "provide a forum in which expert
peers criticise and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to
improve current practices and advance future developments" (RIDE
Editorial). RIDE is Open Access, reviews are published as HTML and
downloadable as TEI. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach
a high quality level of the evaluations. The special issue on Digital
Tools and Environments for DSE will be edited by Anna-Maria Sichani
(University of Sussex) and Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne).
Submission details
Reviews are accepted in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The
length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers
that is worthy of discussion (approximately 2000-5000 words).
Please submit your review at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de as an editable
text file (preferably, but not necessarily docx to facilitate the
conversion to TEI). Please send illustrations as separate image files
(jpg or png) and leave a note in the text as a placeholder for each
image. In addition to the text, we collect keywords. Each review should
be accompanied by a short abstract in English, independently of the
language used in the main text.
For further information please check the general RIDE guidelines and
information on writing and submitting:
http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/guidelines/http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/writing-and-submitting/
The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been
designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you
informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue.
All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level
of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the
evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double
expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This
is also to increase the credit for reviews.

Dear all,
does anyone in this list know what has been decided (if anything) about the new ADHO governance structure, etc.?
I've checked the ADHO website, and it seems that the last documents published (and publicly shared) date back to April 2018. For example:
https://adho.org/announcements/2018/implementation-committee-proposed-sigs-…
I'm finishing to write an article that involves issues of cultural-linguistic diversity and political representation in DH, so I'd be grateful if someone more involved in the procees could illuminate me.
Incidentally, I found the proposed tripartion of organizations in three layers of decreasing power a sort of neo-feudal model: CO (consitituent organizations, who put the money and take the decisions), Associate Organization ("allied to ADHO"), and Affiliate Organization ("compatible aims with ADHO").
I have no doubt that in this increasingly imperial world there are and there always will be organizations and groups in search of "international visibility", and will accept to pay the price of subalternity. We see this everyday. However we're talking about a scholarly organization, not NATO, and a tripartion like this, if implemented, will inevitably reflects a caste system based on income (?), to say the least. I wonder what will be the final result of this process if not a reinforcement and widening of current unbalances and discriminations, and of course the perpetuation of the Anglophone hegemony within our field.
Statemi bene
Domenico
Dear all,
I blogged a thing on the Altmetric Top 100 2018. The Altmetric Top 100 is
an annual list of the research that has received most attention online on
the platforms / services that Altmetric monitors each year. Altmetric has
released an annual Top 100 list since 2013.
Back in the early days of altmetrics some of us thought they could
contribute to increasing the visibility of research outputs from the Global
South. I suppose in a way they have, highlighting how few are actually
recorded, perhaps in part due to the different publishing infrastructures
(e.g. lack of permanent identifiers in some cases), language, etc.
This new data reveals again the dominance of the Global North and of
non-humanities research.
Text and figures in my post:
https://epriego.blog/2018/12/12/how-alternative-are-altmetrics-online-atten…
As usual my posts are always-already works in progress, so typos and
inconsistencies, even errors may have remained, but I have shared the
source data so it can all be checked if you so wish.
All the best,
Ernesto

*Apologies for cross-posting*
I would like to remind members of this group that there is still time to
submit to the Electronic Literature Organization Conference & Media Arts
Festival 2019, to be hosted in July at University College Cork, Ireland.
*The deadline for submissions is December 21st, 11pm GMT. *
Details of the call can be found on the ELO2019 website:
http://elo2019.ucc.ie/cfp/
Or as follows:
Proposals are now being accepted for presentations and exhibition pieces at
the annual Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts
Festival, to be held July 15-17, 2019 at University College Cork, Ireland.
Electronic literature, or e-lit, refers to literary works wherein
computation forms some essential part of the aesthetic. #ELO19 offers an
opportunity to share research and creative contributions within an
engaging, collegial atmosphere comprising e-lit scholars and practitioners
from across the globe.
The theme for this year’s ELO gathering is “peripheries”: delegates are
invited to explore the edges of literary and digital culture, including
emerging traditions, indeterminate structures and processes, fringe
communities of praxis, effaced forms and genres, marginalised bodies, and
perceptual failings. #ELO19 will mark the first time that the ELO
conference has been hosted by an Irish institution: join us for this
momentous gathering!
*Conference Papers*
We invite proposals of ~500 words for conference presentations. Proposals
may focus on any topic relating to the wider field of electronic
literature, multimodal writing, digital art, literary games, or new media
aesthetics. Submissions are welcome across the following two formats:
I. 20-minute presentation of a single paper by one or more authors;
II. 90-minute panel proposal, incorporating three separate but related
abstracts on a consistent topic. In addition to individual abstracts, panel
proposals should be accompanied by ~200 word summaries of their overall
research emphasis.
Please note that we are not in a position to accommodate requests by
presenters who wish to present on a specific date.
Please submit proposals using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2019
Submissions should include the title of the submission, the name(s) and
affiliation(s) of contributor(s), biographical notes, and a 500-word
abstract.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed, with authors being notified in early
2019.
*Exhibition Pieces*
We invite proposals of digital artworks and e-lit pieces to be featured as
part of #ELO19’s media arts exhibition to be hosted at the Glucksman Gallery
<http://elo2019.ucc.ie/glucksman/> throughout and beyond the conference.
All forms of electronic literature, multimodal writing, digital art, and
screen fiction will be considered. We will also consider performance
pieces, for which a session will be scheduled if required. Submissions
should conform to the following structure:
I. Author name(s), affiliation(s), and biographical notes;
II. 500-word artist statement detailing the aesthetic intentions and
structure of the piece;
III. Technical specification providing exact details of what will be
required to facilitate the work’s inclusion in the exhibition. Technical
specifications should include information on the materials, technologies,
and spatial requirements necessary, and what they will require the Gallery
to provide.
Please submit proposals using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2019
Submissions will be considered by the exhibition’s curators, with artists
being notified in early 2019.
*Conference Proceedings*
After #ELO19, selected papers will be invited to submit to a
conference-themed special issue of the Electronic Book Review
<http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/journals/titles/electronic-book-review/>
.
*Bursaries*
Five competitive UCC/ELO bursaries of 500 EUR will be offered to students
and independent scholars/artists looking to attend #ELO19. Eligible
candidates interested in applying for UCC/ELO bursaries should include a
500-word statement with their submission materials, justifying why they
merit such an award.
In addition, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute <http://dhsi.org>
offers several bursaries to assist graduate students and junior scholars
from the DHSI community to attend #ELO19, assisting by defraying some
travel and lodging costs. Preference will be given to those presenting at
the gathering. Candidates interested in applying for DHSI-sponsored
bursaries should do so at https://www.regonline.ca/DHSI-ELO2019.
University College Cork and the Electronic Literature Organization regret
that they will not be in a position to fund additional delegates beyond
these bursaries.
*ELO Membership*
Participation in the Electronic Literature Organization’s Conference &
Media Arts Festival requires ELO membership: eliterature.org/membership
